we do not explain my husband's insane abuse and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead. Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.

Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values.

The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.
